pconnect and cgi

[Anon]

I'm running php 4.0.6 in cgi mode under win2k/IIS5. The documentation states for mssql if I use mssql_pconnect the connection won't be closed at the end of the script.

The problem is, it IS being closed. Why? How can I fix this?

The output of the sql7 profiler comes up as:

Connect PHP 4.0 <-script starts here
ExistingConnection PHP 4.0
... queries from script ...
Disconnect PHP 4.0 <-end of script

I'm only doing one call to pconnect btw, I don't know why it's saying Connect then ExistingConnection.

The PHP CGI process is launched, runs, and then shuts down, which would close the connection. I don't know of a way to use persistent connections with the CGI version. You might be able to make it work with a PHP module under Apache for Windows.
